For over a year now I’ve worked so hard and tried everything I could to avoid this. But I couldn’t save enough, so here we are.

I made a Gofundme. Depending on the outcome I will either hire an expensive immigration lawyer and give it one more try, or pack up and use the money to start over.

Sometimes (like tonight) I cannot sleep thinking about all of the immigrants who over the years told me we were headed to the place our country currently finds itself, and how little people seemed to care because it was immigrants saying it.

2 years of genocide. I mourn the dead, and I mourn the living. None of us will ever be the same, none of us should ever be the same.

I immediately said the landlord was involved.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Anyway if you don’t want me to QT you don’t use academic pseudo-concepts to say a bunch of pompous horseshit that doesn’t mean anything.

It also takes a very special kind of person to tell an undocumented immigrant to “get a job” at this historical moment.

Academics are just such nice kind smart people.

If humanity is to have any chance at all, the concept of intellect must be seized from sweaty, nervous grasp of dorks.

Wow sorry you’re both lame and fragile bro, nobody made you say the phrase “foreverized pastness” in public first thing in the morning

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

"Remaining in the city was impossible, as Israeli forces killed anyone who refused to leave. At the same time, we also knew that life in tents — stripped of the most basic necessities and overshadowed by the uncertainty of whether we would ever return home — was simply another form of death."

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed

In a new analysis piece, famine expert Alex de Waal explores how weaponized mass starvation has historically been used to engineer societal breakdown—and how Israel is now trying to reproduce this pattern in Gaza. Read here: jewishcurrents.org/famines-long...

Famine's Long Shadow

Even if food is surged into Gaza today, the history of weaponized mass starvation shows that the social aftershocks will reverberate for generations.
